Yup. I thought the hints about the sheriff being drew were a misdirection but not so. Loved the episode. Thought crazy Tim the sniper was gonna put mad dog Colt down. Art's rants were priceless. Love the character.

Now that's how you foley gun handling during the "how did you shoot Ellen May?" scene. No rattling or clicking when you handle the gun. Click only when he pulls the trigger and the hammer falls, and I'm impressed they even foleyed in the trigger reset click.

Lots of good facial expressions on Hunter this episode. From the "yeah, right" look during the "last conversation" to the "you've got to be kidding me!" look when Raylan pushed his chair over in Duffey's motor coach.

That and Goggin's face when his lightbulb went off at Shelby's house.

Is it me, or did Raylan break character during the Constable shootout? That was more a Olyphant voice than a Givens voice.

Clearly, it's because it's easy to know that all you have to do is move the last 'e' after the 'sh,' replace the original first 'e' with the moved 'i,' throw out the first letter of the second word, and ex-change the back-to-back 'e's' with their close cousins, the 'f.' After that, all you gotta do is truncate the ending. Easy-peasy!

While I agree with your forecast there's an alternative. Drew & EM could escape into hiding and a long story arc into next season could be the US Marshals, whose job is hunting fugitives keep looking for them.

Colt is absolutely toast. Question is by whom, Boyd, Johnny, Tim the sniper...?

In his weekly episode interview with ew.com, showrunner Graham Yost talks about how they decided that Shelby should be Drew, why they revealed him now, and what the rest of the season holds. He touches on a number of things being discussed here, so the link may be of interest.

There are mild spoilers in here, though, so do not read if you want to know absolutely nothing.
